There's no tax benefit to putting the property into an LLC—it's primarily for legal protection.

It’s mostly a coverage safeguard, not a legal ownership issue.Basically, the policy needs to reflect who has an insurable interest in the property.

Not advertising a deal, just trying to understand what “market” looks like.Hypothetical (but based on a real situation):- Location: Central Los Angeles, Jefferson Park–type area- Asset: Existing 4-unit multifamily on a single parcel- Context: Within walking distance (~0.5 miles) of an E Line / K Line rail station, so it appears to fall into a transit-oriented development (TOD) pocket that should benefit from SB 79 upzoning (higher minimum density / height / FAR if standards are met)- Ownership: Held in a family trust tied to a probate / conservatorship, with a court-supervised mandate to (a) preserve the asset and (b) use it to support an elderly beneficiaryThe family side can realistically contribute **land only**; they don’t have the balance sheet or cash to run a full entitlement + construction process.

Should I offer to pay them for their consultation, or are these types of questions common as part of the PM vetting process and is a "courtesy service"?

@Zachary Sneed - Submission of multiple mortgage applications at the time of each purchase should not be an issue for your credit score, as long as you do them all within a short period of time (such as within 30 days).
